This is a soldiers story about South African soldiers at war in southern Angola and Namibia. It tells of insurgency and counter insurgency, guerilla warfare and conventional warfare. It tells of a conflict which the world saw as unjust, in which South Africa was perceived as the aggressor. But the black and white soldiers who fought in it saw it as an extension of the Cold War, and while it was Cold on the frontiers in Europe it was a Hot war in Angola. Because of the secrecy surrounding it, 32 Battalion became one of the finest fighting units in the South African Army, but also the most controversial.
